CSE 2021: Plan / Strategy / Daily Routine

Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.

This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021. 

No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

Open test analysis

Thats it! 
@Freakhoto I am relying much on PYQs this year. Not giving more than 20-30 tests as RoI wasn't that great. 

@maggiie That will be enough along with PYQs. 2020 Buddhism/Jainism questions were all there in Singhania and PYQ

Plan was to study for 9+ hours but got little disappointed by centre allocation for HCS in the evening therefore couldn't study much.

@Infinitybeyondinfinity Thank You, but vision has come out with two different types of compilations this time and both seem quite bulky. Are you doing both or one ? And are you doing it completely ? If you are doing selectively, then what criteria are you using to select what schemes to cover, and how much to cover with respect to a scheme ?
